Ceramic filter is a new type, high efficiency and energy saving solid-liquid separation equipment. It appeared in the 80s of last century and was successfully applied to filtration of iron concentrate. At present, the products have been widely used in the filtration of iron concentrate, copper concentrate, lead concentrate, aluminum concentrate, nickel concentrate, gold concentrate, phosphor concentrate, fluorite and so on.  

The difference between the ceramic filter and other solid-liquid separation equipment is that the filter medium is the ceramic filter plate. The ceramic filter plate has micropores that produce the capillary action. The capillary force in the micropore is larger than the force applied in the vacuum, so the micropore is always filled with liquid state, and all the conditions are permeable and impermeable. The vacuum is high. The main features are:  

1、The vacuum degree is generally between -0.095---0.098MPa, the moisture content of filter cake is low, and the yield is high.

2、The loss of vacuum is less, and the energy saving is remarkable.

3、The micropores of ceramic filter plates are generally about 0.5--2um, clear filtrate, no environmental pollution, and recycling of water resources.

4、The equipment has high automation, low labor intensity, simple maintenance and low workload.
